4th Ritual of Detestation: Bleed

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Action 1: [ Garviel is spending some time after the battle with the Death Arcana recuperating. He actually went to the hospital, being sensible, and is now sitting around in the hotel lobby reading books, with an enormous bandage wrapped around his side. Do you join him for a chat? ]

Video 1: [ Garviel appears on the screen, looking weary. ] So, tell me, did we learn anything of note about our foes here as yet? I'm a man who fights... I need to know what our thinkers and seekers are doing.

Audio (Locked to Nero) Saber... I've purchased the wine. I believe you mentioned a steak? I'll allow you to choose the locale, if you don't mind.

That has not yet been made clear to me. I wish i could be of more help. As for the hours duration, I suspect it is because sorcery of this nature only has a limited purchase on the realm of reality.

Figured as much, but that's okay! There's always answers lying in wait somewhere We just have to dig deep enough to find them. ...Would be a little more helpful if I actually had some of my own equipment from back home, but I guess beggars can't be choosers, huh?

Hm, so you think this is all the result of sorcery? That could work, I guess. I mean, they are sort of similar to the demons in all those old fairy tales.

I know it is the result of sorcery. I've seen what science is capable of, and this is nothing that the priests of Mars could ever do.

....

Back home, you say? What sort of equipment might that be?

Well, our resident doctor always cooks up nifty stuff for us to use out on the field. She's kind of a genius. I'm sure she'd be able to figure out how to get rid of these shadows more effectively. And our morphers... might've been easily reprogrammable to actually track them, maybe? But I guess it's kind of pointless to wonder about what could be, since we're all kind of stuck here.

We have some very intelligent people here you may want to consult with, actually. Klaus Wulfenbach, for one thing. But... our weapons are mostly autoguns and blades, I'm afraid.

Really? Well, that's good to know. I'm sure we could put our heads together and come up with some useful stuff. ...Or maybe some not so useful but still entertaining stuff.

And yeah, kinda found that out during the whole... zombie thing. It felt kind of weird using an actual gun, but I guess I'll get used to it. If only there was a way to make them lighter. I swear our laser pistols were light as feathers in comparison.

You used lasguns in your previous work? Interesting. My counterparts in the imperial army did as well.

[buttery-tech.livejournal.com]

...I'm guessing yours were probably more advanced. But that's still pretty neat.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

Not really, Lasguns are very basic weapons.
